About this lesson
Companies pay corporation tax on net chargeable gains at 19% or 25% (with marginal relief available), don't benefit from an annual exempt amount, and can't claim most capital gains reliefs—except rollover relief. You'll discover how indexation allowance reduces taxable gains on costs up to December 2017, and understand which reliefs simply don't apply to companies, including gift relief, business asset disposal relief, and investors relief. This knowledge is essential for accurately calculating corporation tax liabilities in exam scenarios and real-world practice.
